  1. Score the rind of the pork in a diamond pattern. Rub the meat all over with salt, pepper, caraway, marjoram and crushed garlic.
  2. Put the roughly chopped onions, carrots and celery in a roasting tin and pour in 250 ml of water. Lay the pork on top, rind side down.
  3. Roast at 180 °C for 30 minutes, then turn it rind side up and pour in the beer.
  4. Roast for 1½–2 hours more, basting now and then with the juices and topping up with stock if the tin dries.
  5. For crisp crackling, turn the oven to 220 °C or the grill on for the last 15 minutes.
  6. Rest the meat for 10 minutes. Strain the juices, pressing the vegetables, for the gravy. Serve with dumplings and sauerkraut.
